Unsure if this has been posted anywhere else but a fair whack of stainless vessels, perhaps a little larger than most would be wanting but thought it might interest a few ... Gumtree Listings - https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-seller/Tom/1013586741 Auction Site -...

Would be keen for 2 of the Cascade ... post to either QLD or NSW ... got an address in both.

After a bit of googling right you are (http://www.nada.kth.se/~alun/Beer/Bottle-Yeasts/ )

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but I think that the bottling strain for Sierra Nevada is different to the primary ferment strain. Might want to check it out before loading it into a fermenter.

Used it a year or two back, great yeast. Used a fairly old pack .... starter almost jumped out of the vessel. Was used in a clone of Trois Monts. Fermented it at 23 and let rise to 25 after high krausen. Lagered for 4 weeks after.

How do you decide on a pitching/dosing rate for that then ? Do you add sugar to the bottle direct or bulk prime with this method ?

I fear for the viability of them after sitting in primary for about 14 weeks (plus another 5 lagering) , and then if I polyclar and gelatine ... not sure what will be left.

Questions about adding yeast fro bottle conditioning/carbonation. The brew had a OG of 1.101 and finished up at 1.018 which was in the ballpark of what I expected (using WY1762 and adding simple sugars and belgian candi syrup through primary), however had a problem with a small tear in my BIAB...

Dammit should have logged on earlier ..... if anyone has over ordered give me a yell.

Rather than start a new topic thought I might just add onto this old one. I have had a go at a version of this but have had a few issues and have a few questions so hoping I might get some help. The brew had a OG of 1.101 and finished up at 1.018 which was in the ballpark of what I expected...

At Nobby's Beach it called 'Bine'.

Thanks Barls .... also found this one from you http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/15457-ahb-wiki-bottling-with-champagne-bottles/?p=501077 advanced search is far more helpful than the default.

Was this the thread ? http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/62722-chimay-red-750ml-bottles/?hl=cork#entry881094

Can you recall where and what type of corks you used ? Did you need to use a corking tool of some sort ?
